Birkenstock Blue Footbed Arch Support -Casual SKU: #7198408

No more pain! I suffered from what I thought was plantar fasciitis. I tried everything to get relief from the pain…..cushioned/gel insoles in my shoes, anti-inflammatory medications, ice, stretching exercises, rest, nothing seemed to work. Finally I went to a shoe store specializing in prescription shoes etc. They fixed me up with Birkenstock blue footbeds. My feet felt better immediately, but it took 6 months or more for the pain to go away completely. The foot pain had developed and worsened over the course of about a year, so I guess it took that long to recover from the strain. I have no idea what caused the pain to start in the first place, but I always use the footbeds now, and have not had any pain. The footbeds are really convenient because they can be changed from shoe to shoe. The only drawback is that they really don’t work with a dress shoe that has a narrow sole.

Wow! Purchased these with the hope that they'd make it possible for me to re-align my left leg properly without costly doctor-prescribed insoles. They worked! 'Will still see physician when I can, but now I've got a head start.

It works for me - I received my Brikenstock inserts yesterday & put them in my shoes for about 6 hours. I just can't believe that my feet didn't hurt all afternoon or even after I took off my shoes. The only thing is: they cause a slight tingle in the middle of my left foot. I broke my left leg 3 years. ago & walk with a limp & my left heel started to hurt, but No Pain with the Birkenstock inserts. I will now buy Birkenstock shoes & nothing else. WOW, I CAN'T BELIEVE THE PAIN IS GONE!!!

I returned the item, because I misunderstood the purpose of it. I was looking for replacements to my Husband's Birkenstock Footbed. These did not fit the purpose.

My feet savers - A couple of months ago I bought Birkenstock's blue footbed arch support. Still can't belive it! No more imflamation scripts for the tooties. I am free at last to walk all I want with no pain.

Birkenstock Arch Supports - I bought these supports to replace others that are eight years old. They are the best inserts I have ever used.

Five Star - When I first received my Arch Supports they didn't appear to be much and I was concerned that they would not give the support I needed. I tried them the day I got them and not gone without them since! For as small as they are, they offer great support and comfort. They even absorb any moisture that may accure after I've worn my work dress shoes for nine plus hours. I am very pleased with them and plan to wear them until they wear out and then purchase some more!

Not as great as I had hoped - I have considerable problems with plantar facitis and Birkenstock shoes/sandles are sometimes the only thing I can comfortably wear. I had hoped that these would be more supportive than they are. On the up side they fit in a wide variety of casual shoes so at least I can get a little extra support.

Too wide - This arch support works well in adding extra support in a Birkenstock shoe, if you need it, but doesn't fit very well in many other types of shoes. It does does a good job in the support department, but makes even a birkenstock fit tightly, so it isn't as comfortable as I expected it to be.

Bingo! I am an active guy--a lot of walking and excercise. My feet have given me problems the older I get and these are as good an insert as anything you can get anywhere. They are made of cork and they will take a couple of weeks to break in but when they do you are in for a real foot support treat!

All time best!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! These are the best supports I've ever worn! Very comfortable and supportive. I stand on my feet all day and these really keep me moving when other supports have left me in pain at the end of the day.

Birkenstock Blue Footbed Arch Support -Casual! I have recently developed Plantar Fasciitis and I'm trying various things to improve the condition. These supports do seem to help when I'm on my feet and the fit in my shoe very well. I'm not crazy about the blue, which is why I gave look only 2 stars, but the brown wasn't offered, and I wanted these for my sandals. I don't have anything to compare these to yet so I may have rated them higher, had I tried other products. In summary, they are helping and I'd recommend them.

Works, but order a size smaller than you'd expect - I have plantar fasciitis and heel spurs. Birkenstocks (sandals, clogs, etc.) are one of the few brands I can wear without the need for orthotic devices. I was thrilled to see that birkenstock made an orthotic as well. They aren't as comfortable as I would like, but I think it's because they are too large. Next time I will order the size below what my measurments recommend.

Love these. Although I didn't buy these at Zappos, these are great. I can wear any brand of shoe and still get the comfort of Birks! A+

Comfort for my feet. I have fallen arches and very wide feet. Each night I go to sleep with aching feet ....until..I purchases the Birkenstock footbed arch support. I was skeptical to purchase as I understood the support was not the same as purchasing the shoes. The shoes worked very well for me. However, the arch supports work equally well. They save my feet from much stress. Zappos did instant delivery on these little items. Thank you!

Gotta have it! This little arch makes wearing regular shoes bearable. Heel pain in my regular shoes has gone away since using these.

Blue miracles - Birk's blues are a reason my 84 year old aunt is still walking. she was walking 3 miles a day but due to foot pain, was about to quit. I gifted her a pair of Birk's Blues and she went out and walked that day.
